Fail OP
>>58987990Cool name you got there but that's one hell of a mouthful
>>58987990>elite reduxis the game fun, or what?
Been working on a custom lass sprite for a few days, still haven't finished her due to my lack of free time, what do you lads think about? It's my third fully self-made sprite, and my first attempt trying to do a more simplified sprite.
>>58987990>used username instead of subjectFail.
>>58988010if you like teambuilding, extreme difficulty battles and nothing else
>>58988192The mouth feels wrong. I'm not sure what the proper fix is, but that needs work.
>>58987990How are the hack restored by hackrepairman guy, /rheg/scholar?
>>58988010It's my favorite Pokemon game. All Pokemon have 4 abilities, one of which has 3 options to choose from. It's just a battling game though, it's not like an official style Pokemon game. You don't even actually need to catch Pokemon in this one, you can just select which Pokemon in the area you want to capture automatically, that's how much it's just about battling>>58987990>complain about Kabutops not having a proper Perfectionist set>use the Debug mode to add Spike Cannon to his movepool>leave feedback, particularly about Kabutops having a shit Perfectionist set, so there's no reason to pick it>they finally gave Kabutops a good moveset, including Spike Cannon backI would say based, but it's really just cringe that they removed it in the first place. Whoever did the move rebalancing that one time is just a piece of shit person
>>58990521Noted, I'm still on the sketch phase and some details are a bit iffy so far, especially because this is a smaller sprite in terms of proportions than the ones I've drawn before. Lighting and shading are still one of the biggest hurdles I'm still facing. Drawing hands, legs and feet is still a horrible hurdle for me.
Hello. Good Platinum hacks with all catchable mons (post Champion), no trade evos, infinite TMs and good QoL?
I was enjoying this romhack until my immersion broke.
>>58990845The skirt is too symmetrical for something meant to be at a 3/4 view.
More romhacks should add gender switching
>>58991279Eh, she would talk like that if the game was made today.
>>58992342Kys
>>58990577they're pretty solid, though the hacks he restores are usually kind of "generic" in a way, it isn't too difficult to draw a line out, and he always tries to get in contact with the original creator to see what their plans were, so for many of those games he's just realizing the plans that already existed.He's also very anal about glitches, if you go on any pokecom thread for a game he's repaired there's always pages and pages of forum of ppl reporting bugs and him fixing them.
Polished Crystal uses AI code.
>Game gives recommendations
>>58987990>Bag use in battle disabled.I shan't play it.
>>58994347Can AI still use items? If so, yeah, fuck that, 90% of the time they're cheating bastards anyways.
Give me a comfy FRLG romhack with physical special split, maybe Fairy type too
Just finished Pokemon Odyssey. Are romhacks doomed to have absolutely horrid writing? The story wasn't even that bad, but the delivery of each scene was absolutely abhorrent that I was just speed reading through the textGame is still genuinely some good ass shit. Hard mode was fun and hopefully the sequel will make it more of an etrian game instead of just pokemon with etrian references/v/ tourist btw, now tell me what hack to play next you faggots
>>58994786>Are romhacks doomed to have absolutely horrid writing?Yes.
>>58994786Yes, same with all fanstories of series geared towards children.
>>58994811Wrong
>>58994825That reks of teen edge.
>>58991581Noted, took the advice and tried to make it seem like the wind is moving the skirt. As well as running a few small adjustments here and there.I still think something's missing or not quite right, but I'm not sure what honestly.>>58994676Rocket Edition, the original that made Pokecommunity seethe, rather than the latinx one, is probably one of the best romhacks out there, it's an incredibly fun spin on Kanto.
>>58994786>SpoilerWant a new region but with normal mons? Gaia or Unbound.Want an Old region with different stuff? Touhoumon 1.8 Enhanced.
>>58995126>Rocket Edition I want a bloody comfy FRLG, not something edgy with a different story. I'm tired of playing Emerald over and over again
>>58995136Okay then.Gaia is pretty decent, it feels like a legit Pokemon game, but it can be kinda boring due to that.
bump
>>58993800but it's save time, like when capturing 87.5% male mons
>>58987990god damn things are getting slow.
ROM hacks with the sexiest sprites for NPC girls? Also which moemon game has the sexiest sprites? I'm talking big tits and ass
Is there a hack that turns Ruby and Sapphire into Emerald but still keeping the story/character elements true to Ruby/Sapphire?like just updating the battles/trainers and features to Emerald stuff, but keeping them the same game content and story-wise
>>58995060It's very edgyBut it's also a lot more compelling than it should be. I've never been more invested in Shadow, Wile E Coyote, or Chester Cheeta.
ROM hacks for feral Pokemon?
>>58995060its unironically the highest form of kino to ever grace the internet

Lance nearly clowned me in polished crystal but his last Dragonite just spammed fly so I was able to alternate healing and spamming every X-item the game had given me until that point until I was ready to one shot it.
>>58999230I used Destiny Bond against it
>>58998028>Chester Cheeta

>>59001978Ayo?
>>59002032You have my attention.
>>58993817I know they are a bit old but these games don't get much attention, so I wonder how generic they are.They reuse gym leaders, evil teams, the Elite Four, and so on, or same region?

>>59004928The knowledge and tools for hacking gens 4 and 5 already exist and there's lots of people hacking those games. It's only a matter of time before one of them manages to release a complete hack.
>>59005693I hate romhackers so much man. Never ballsy enough to commit to anything, never with any actual ideas or opinions of their own. Just pure appealslop.
>>59007087danks
>>59007868Emerald: Johto Edition >This is an Emerald rom hack, where the original game's Pokemon have been replaced with those from the Johto pokedex (with some modifications)>The Hoenn Pokedex has been replaced by the Johto Pokedex. All Pokemon from the first 252 (i.e. Kanto to Johto, Bulbasaur to Celebi) are be obtainable aside from Lugia, Ho-Oh, Mewtwo, Mew, and the regional legendary trios. Later generation evolutions are also available (e.g. Leafeon, Magnezone, Kleavor, etc).Slowpink >Meant to be more of a callback to Pokémon Yellow and Pokémon LGPE than Red/Blue or FireRed/LeafGreen. Instead of choosing between the Gen 1 starters at the beginning, you'll choose between Pikachu, Eevee, and Slowpoke, and instead of having a mix of Gen 1 and Gen 2 Pokémon, the hack has only Gen 1 Pokémon as well as their baby forms, evolutions, and Alola regional variants.

>>59008034 It's yet another Kanto hack, of course it is going for mass appeal.
>>59008962>nuzlockefuck off i'd rather play quetzal
>>59008962> If this level of challenge is not enjoyable for you, that is completely understandable — difficulty preferences vary widely. In that case, there are many excellent ROM hacks with a more moderate difficulty curve, such as FireRed Omega or Renegade Platinum, which may better suit your tastes. After gaining experience with such projects, this game may become more approachable and enjoyable, as player proficiency naturally develops over time.Sooo, another Run&Bun like hack for le ebin hardcore pro nuzlocke streamerz to consoom. Pass.

Hello friends, Idk if this is a common question, but I'm looking for a gen3 emerald/frlg version that just adds spec split, and maybe some other QOL?Most I've seen add too much stuff like 100 pokemon per route or shit like that, quality over quantity am I right?
>>59003082>>59003067Who else is playing?
>>59003082the artwork is awesome
>>59010104Best bet would probably be:https://www.pokecommunity.com/threads/pok%C3%A9mon-perfect-emerald-v5-5.540603/
>>59007890You are overselling it. At most, we'll see 1 hack a year, more likely 1 every 3 years. Even now, the best thing is an incomplete demo that's a remake of an already existing game.
>>59009868lmao. But let it be. I won't be playing this so why spend my energy on it? Moving on to simpler and fun hacks like Renegade Platinum, Unbound or maybe White2 Redux. No nuzlockes as I don't have time for all the autism involved. Did a few, not interested in new.
>>59010221What am I overselling? I was just saying that I'm sure that there will be at least one complete gen 4+ hack someday in the future, which your prediction seems to agree with.
>>59010339I think it's more along the lines of making a completely new region and story through modeling/programming of said hacks. We got plenty of gen 1-3 hacks that went that far.
>>59010794Higher pixel count sprites and making 3D models certainly sounds like it'd be more work, but it wouldn't explain how sluggish the scene feels, or is it just that hacking with the DS is too fickle and things break really easily?
>>58987990The whole '4 abilities' thing kinda turns me off.
>>59004142whats wrong with Gen 1-3? Those are the easiest to work with by far
>pokeemerald-expansion 1.15>added fire red/leaf greengreat now we can finally get a good Kanto game
>>59012156So it finally got added. While I think it's an incredible advancement for gen 3 hacking, I'm not looking forward to the wave of FireRed difficulty and QoL hacks it will bring.
>>59012156About damn time, FRLG hacks all suck.
>>59010994That’s one of the few good things about this hack
>>59010104Modern Emerald.
>>59010813>but it wouldn't explain how sluggish the scene feelsNo, that really is it. Working with the DS is so much work that it's not even funny. While tools exist, they still aren't even half as good as GBA tools. Not to mention that we don't have code that we can plug-in like GBA. It really is the difference between ordering a pizza at a restaurant vs making from scratch at home.
>>59008962>built for tiny german dickMore like Pokemon Dull
There hasn't been a single good romhack to come from that shit.
The romhack scene feels so large but often so alien. The only released romhacks I've actually enjoyed were Brown, Prism (on its initial release), Red++ and Polished Crystal (version from several years back). I have to begrudgingly throw Crystal Clear in there too, because it's one of the few hacks that doesn't seem to despise the gameplay of the original and keep it intact.I want to say everything is too sloppy and amateurish but Brown and Prism are pretty obviously fanworks and not that polished, same with Crystal Clear really.There's no better word to describe a lot of romhacks than just slop made for streamers. Of course there's a lot of dumb pigs that want features that skip gameplay and give them instant dopamine but the pressure seems to entirely be on streamers as the argument is always that people don't have enough time to play romhacks, which is obviously a LARP, but you know who does want to save time? Streamers that don't want the game to be boring for the audience.This is also the reason why every single romhack is just challengeslop that rapes and butchers the original games with a billion dissonant gimmicks and awful nugen Pokémon now. Not even because Pokémon fans are retarded monkeys that hate their own franchise, but because of streamers. There's like no consideration that these things will ever be the personal work of a guy. Coral is like the only decent looking unreleased romhack for that reason. It's clearly a work made from the creator's own effort and tastes. I feel like he could deviate further into making it his own thing but that too is a decision. Challengeslop hacks don't tell me anything about the creator, because they can't, all challengeslop hack creators think there's a single ideal game that could in theory exist that would be endlessly replayable by streamers and make them infinite revenue, so they can't possibly have any individuality as they're all aiming for the same thing.tl;dr kill streamers
>>59012156>>59012318>>59012393Wasn't CFRU already created before emerald decomp? I mean Radical Red did a lot with Kanto
>>59003082>So this is the equivalent of Polished Crystal for Gen 1Oh boy! You mean it has physical special split, moves and types from later games, cross gen evos and regional forms to give the game a lot more variety and options, buffs for underwhelming mons, buffs to npc trainers, and other modern features like abilities, held items, and natures? That sounds great! I’ve been looking for a definitive modern take on red and blue, I’ll have to give this a try!>Looks inside>It’s the 13 gorillionth “preserves the spirit of the original” memberberries bullshit hack with 0 attempts at modernizing the games at all that deliberately keeps outdated shit mechanics for the “CLASSIC Gen 1 feeeeeel” Oh so it’s actually nothing like Polished Crystal then
>>59013523Didn't even list the best feature from Polished Crystal which is having the Gen 3+ PC in Gen 2.
For some reason Elysium does not like the 3DS and neither does Flora Sky though they still play on flashcarts.
>I'm a legally blind person with a life-long love of Pokemon. Due to my vision, I've been unable to play these classic games for many years now. So, I decided to try my hand and ROM hacking to make a version of the game that I could play. My hope was that others might also be able to benefit, or at least like the idea of a dark mode type theme for the game.https://www.pokecommunity.com/threads/pokemon-crystal-dark-mode-v1-0.541192/
Genuinely why don't people just play Showdown / Z-A / Scat and Vomit or whatever instead of stinking up good games with this shit
>>59013523>with 0 attempts at modernizing the gamesYou already have plenty of shallow nuGF feces to play bro. It's becoming impossible to even FIND any new romhacks that don't cave to nuGF slop and now almost everything plays the EXACT same instead of having an identity. PureRGB is gay BECAUSE it doesn't even commit to THAT.
>>59013804bc how am i gonna make a compelling YouTube video with Showdown?
>>59013804People don't play these romhacks, anon. They get excited to watch their favorite streamer play these romhacks.
How does one get better at making sprites?
>>59013959The same way you get better at drawing in general: combination of consistent practice and looking up, learning, and applying new techniques.
>>59013959There's no real easy way, you just have to have a desire and an idea. I started by wanting to see what GSC's superior Pokémon sprites would look like with Gen 3 shading techniques (for use in RSFRLGE obviously), which led me to understand that Gen 3 actually utilises a variety of styles which got me engaged with learning and making my own sprites in general. Enough little "projects" and "ideas" like that and suddenly you notice you're making perfectly sufficient sprites for these games.
>>59013814>PureRGB is gay BECAUSE it doesn't even commit to THAT.But that's wrong. Most of the customization in the game is visual, you can choose the colors and front/back sprites from every Gen 1 version (Red/Blue, Yellow, Proto, Green). The gameplay stays the same
>>59013959I've only recently started making my own custom sprites, from experience, the process is better started with editing sprites or using already existing sprite bases, then you can try and move to make your own stuff. Getting hands, arms, legs and feet/shoes right on the first try is fucking nightmarish. Shading and outlining is also pretty hard to get right at first. I recently learned quite a few unique spriting tricks from looking at HGSS sprites, for instance, many sprites have half the face shadowed, not only to display perspective, but also to show noses with actually having to draw a nose, because trust me, drawing noses, especially in more simplified sprites does not work.There's also the matter of reference material, I typically avoid using it, since I draw by heart and just finish my projects with whatever comes to mind in terms of ideas. But typically a lot of fags like to gather a lot of reference material for inspiration on their projects.Like I alluded to earlier, don't expect your first projects to look good, and don't throw away stuff you consider failures no matter how ashamed you feel about it, learning from failure is essential to getting better at art in general.
>>59004142Light Platinum and Aurora Crystal will ideally break it open. But both are very slow going.
>>59014262make her boobs bigger
>>59014238You don't even know anything about this hack, why are you defending it?It makes a bunch of awful changes to base stats and moves, with no way to turn them off
>>59013814>adding anything what's good added in the past 20+ years is "slop" nowBy having that amount of energy making this dogshit contrarian takes; why not use that energy slit your throat instead?
>>59013523Kanto Expansion Pak is the only Gen 1 hack that can compete with Polished Crystal in terms of content while "keeping the spirit of the original".>didn't just added cross evos but also beta mons too>has it's own unique region only at post-game>new kanto maps>expanded story and lore>new music>new types>battle system is untouched
I am playing Tectonic and I am having fun
>>59014488>claiming 20+ years when 20 years ago the series didn't even have your precious Phys/Spec splitDisingenuous cunt. LolNot surprising from a nuGF slurper though.
If kanto hacks don't include my unfunny reddit fakemon then they're LITERALLY UNPLAYABLE
>>59013383No, but it was more advanced and popular than the decomp at the time. Currently pokeemerald-expansion is the best gen 3 rom base, which is why being able to use it for Kanto hacks is beneficial.
contextless romhack screenshots of gym leaders don't really show that oftentimes the player is far more overpowered than the AI in these situations and that the AI actually does need that legendary to stand a chance against you.
>>59014621this looks fucked up but the level 38 cap is a lot better than the bullshit other romhacks try to pull where you're asked to kill an entire smogon team with level 16 shitters
>>59014562Tell me more about that game
>>59014616Couldn't someone just make Kanto in pokeemerald before? I mean wasn't the latest HG/SS demake made with emeraldexpansion? Seems like you could just chuck the firered/leafgreen assets right in and make a functional, but a little different, Kanto.
>>58995136Try YAFRH (yet another firered hack). It has phys/special split.
>>59014641You could and I think there were some forks that added the Kanto maps. But to make the region functional you would also need to implement all the map events, some of which require porting engine code from Firered. Having all of that done for you by the base rom makes things a lot easier and lets you focus on actually making your hack rather than building the base for it.
>>59014601Diamond and Pearl are 20 later this year.
>download a romhack everyone praises>no exp allinto the trash it goesdid Pokemon Unbound just spoil me or are there any other good romhacks that include new region and qol?
>>59010813>Higher pixel count spritesPretty sure they are mostly the same between gen 3 and 4, 4 to 5 got a bit bigger with sprites but the bulk of BW was the fully 3d maps

>>59012453>>59010161Danke, I'll give them a try

>>59008962>doubles focused >actually challenging AI >great QOL features based >nuzlocke fuck off. hope there's a way to disable that part. everything else around it is great
>>59014621What is the route availability like? Because otherwise this is just a competition on whether you can Mach Punch enough with Brelooms to out DPS her team or just die.
>>59015175the nuzlocke part is optional but keep in mind the games a lot easier because its designed with limited options in mind
>>59014704Why do people like unbound so much, there is so much bullshit in that game. Especially the empty underground tunnel thing connecting the whole map, rather than fly. It feels like the selection of Pokémon is really boring too, I changed half my team when I caught safari Pokémon near the end
>>59015175There's also a casual game-mode that gives you a bunch of heart scales, easier gimmicks (whatever that means), and lowers the level of enemies by 5%.You can enable this by interacting with the GameCube in your room at the start.
>>59015475Original region hack with almost every pokemon obtainable (at the time it released anyway, but nobody's made a more complete game since). That puts it head and shoulders above most romhacks.
>>59015475the story is meh but Unbound is a complete game where catching pokemon is actually fun, and the Battle Frontier is the best in any pokemon game, official or otherwise.
Thoughts on Perfect Water Blue?
>>59015475I don't understand it either, it's a bit fun sure but it'll never be the perfect pokémon romhack some people try to say. I honestly had more fun playing Scorched Silver, Spanish Rocket Edition, Dark Violet, etc.>>59016776>Pokemon Perfect Water Blue is an improvement-type hack of Fire Red with the original story.it's shit.
>>59015475I don't get it either, as soon as I reached the desert I was so fucking bored that I could barely convince myself to keep playing it and the gym gimmicks are so needlessly fucking anal in the worst ways possible, especially if you play on the harder difficulties like I did. For fuck's sake dude, you're forced into double battles were your partner actively sabotages you, that's nigger tier game design.I appreciate Unbound for what it is, but cramming everything into a single game doesn't make it good, Unbound's story is also really shit.The graphics and most everything else like the spritework is fucking fantastic, hell even the sidequests are somewhat interesting, but the progression and gameplay loop is really dull.I even though for a bit I was being a bit too harsh with the game, but then I replayed it a bit a while back and no, my opinions did not change.
Where's the Stereo Rotom sprite already and what's the name of your romhack

>>59017702I'm not a romhacker, but I mess around with sprites on occasion, give me 2 to 3 days and I can whip out a Stereo Rotom sprite and maybe a backsprite, I've been fairly busy but I'll try getting it finished soon.>>59017793Literally every single romhack or fangame ever made by a jewtuber, or one which the jewtuber in question was the idea guy who got a bunch of other fags to make a game for him, has been fucking terrible, it's always the fucking case.I appreciate how ambitious this one sounds and I have a lot of respect for anyone who shits on Radical Red(dit) or LE HECKIN EBIN DIFFICULTERINO HACK, but he also sounds like a complete faggot, and then he also fucking adds level cap faggotry to the fucking game after shitting on difficulty slop, what the fuck?>Says he's not adding Pokemon that aren't very popular to the game in spite of making the dex go even as late as gen 9>Adds the fucking Unovan monkeys to his shit hack, and Seismitoad and a bunch of other gen 5 trashmons that nobody cares aboutOf course it's a gen 5 zoomer, of course it is...........>Randomly changes Pokemon's types and adds a bunch of random bullshit nobody likes into his gameYeah, this ain't looking good chief.
>>59017885I agree with most of that, but I actually appreciate type/BST/moveset changes if it makes shitmons more viable or interesting
Oh no, now you actually have to USE the Pokémon you add to your team to catch them up.Man, the romhack scene is such fucking dogshit because it caters to you dumbasses.
>>59017917>>59014704Meant for this piece of shit faggot.
>>59017917>>59017923Kek, that's not even true. Any romhack that doesn't have the Gen 6+ Exp Share just gives you 999 rare candies or some trainer that gives you 3 levels per fight instead.
>>59017894You wouldn't if you actually liked the "shitmon" in question to begin with.
>>59017917>>59017923Grinding pokemon on wild battles is just pointless padding that serves no purpose other than lengthen your own game time. If you like to waste time playing pokemon hacks feel free to do so, but I'm not wasting my time. Most of these hacks can be completed in a single afternoon if you aren't grinding new teams nonstop.
>>59017960Some of my favourite Pokemon are ones like Ledian and Farfetch'd who are only usable in a select hanfdul of hacks
>>59017894I'm fine with at most giving Pokemon new moves, that is A-okay with me.But changing BSTs or types in the most fanficky bullshit ways ruins the experience, it always does.I get some Pokemon are utter dogshit as someone who loves Sceptile, but nothing takes me out of the experience more than seeing several Pokemon being completely reworked to be fit some smogon criteria of viability.
>>59018025We'll just have to agree to disagreeI don't care if something is "fanficky" as long as it makes my experience more enjoyable
>>59018000I will never understand zoomers, back in the day we used to enjoy games, we wanted to do as much as we could with games, especially good games. But it feels like with zoomers, they want to get rid of a game as fast as fucking possible, they hate engaging with the game's unique mechanics, they are completely lacking in media literacy. We took grinding teams for an hour or two as something simple, beating Brock with a team of Charmander, Pidgey and Pikachu back in the day was hellish, but it made me feel so accomplished. If zoom zoom can't finish a game in 5 hours tops or aren't handed literally everything right off the gate they consider the game to be unplayable.It's just fucking sad to behold.
>>59018050I'm in my thirties and love really long games, but these days I want my time to be respected, I want to experience actual content instead of padding
Modern Exp Share + Difficulty Options + Level Caps >>>>>>>>>> Traditional Pokemon Exp Gain >>>>>>>>>> Modern Pokemon Exp Share + Babby Easy + Overleveling >>>>>> Here's infinite rare candies, don't even bother with the battle system
>>59018050I just have played so many pokemon games that I really don't need to add extra playtime through grinding out every single pokemon on level 3 caterpies in the early game just to make it usable in the first gym. I want to get to the meat and potatoes of the game as quickly as possible, not waste my time leveling shitmons that i'll be abandoning the moment I reach the pokemon daycare or have access to Abras for nature farming.I will say I prefer no exp share over the infinite rare candies gimmick.Exp Share > No Exp Share > Rare Candies
>>58990779Hey Kabutops bro, you were the one who told me how to use Debug Mode last year after the ER devs implemented their controversial "Movepool Review". Thanks again for dropping that gem on me, I was actually really annoyed after they dropped the latest update (v2.65) after putting future playthroughs on hold for well over a year since they had the GENIUS IDEA to REMOVE DEBUG MODE. They got a lot of backlash and now the original creator of the hack, Darky, says they're going to roll out a Debug patch soon. Apparently the game was never supposed to even have it available to the players and they just didn't know how to remove it...? But honestly, I feel that it's invaluable to the core sand-box experience of the game... especially since the Movepool Review. Like, there's well over 1000 mons in the game, that's not even counting all the new fakemon evolutions, paradoxes, redux forms, ect. At some point the order of which Pokemon I can get when, where and how is completely arbitrary, especially when you could get Mythicals early on on some 1% encounter shit iirc. Glad they listened to the community and walked it back... but their design philosophies trouble me sometimes. Happy they took your advice and buffed up Kabutops.Anyways, I think I mayyyy have a Team Building mental-illness... in the past few days I made over 36 different sets on the Online Dex using exclusively the new mons dropped in the latest update. Here they are if you are anyone is interested, some are gimmicky but whatever.
>>59013523play the infinite infinite copying and pasting of the exact same shit from later gens seventeen billion million trillion quintillion quadrillion times over no take backs of red blue crystal emerald that are linked in this shitty thread if you don't like gen 1 mechanics, fucking dumb fuckif you reply its because you know im right, if you dont its because you know im right, now go die eternally or make your fucking own romhack instead of bitching about a problem you dont actually have (finding a romhack with physical special split and dogshit from later gens)
>>59018047Same, I don't care that Gamefreak decided to give a shit BST/Stat Spread/Typing/Movepool/Abilities to some "dex filler" mon or otherwise, I want to use it and if I do I want it to be more than baggage, especially if the hack has a modicum of challenge.Not like I'm transferring these mons up anymore anyways, and if I did I'd still keep them as illegal as possible for preservations sake.>>59018000>>59018067Another good point. Grinding is just a waste of time, even with speed-up. It's not rewarding, it's not hard, it's stupid. Nuzlocke youtubers skip that shit too for their audiences sake as well as their own, and people here seethe at it and obsess over these "E-celebs" like any of it even matters. Contrarians everywhere, or maybe these are just the kinds of people that children's game modification hobbies attract...
>>59018050Back in the day we had free time, dipshit. I like enjoying long games. My first Elden Ring playthrough was 200 hours and I 100% it. I don't regret that. But I would regret grinding up pokemon in some shitslop romhack that will never be as worthwhile as playing a game released by gamefreak because I cant use these pokemon in any other game nor battle people with them. I'm an adult with shit to do now.
>>59019130>I'm an adult with shit to do now.>My first Elden Ring playthrough was 200 hours and I 100% it. >I don't regret that. The hypocrisy and the lack of self-awareness from this board is unreal.
>>59018067>>59018000>Grinding is bad in a RPGJust claim you hate RPGs and prefer battle simulators or Master Sex>b-but im a grown up!!Then how embarrasing do you have to be to say that you're in the 30s browsing on 4channel? Lmao
>>59018067>>59018716>>59019130Dude, I'm not gonna judge too harshly on the lack of free time, I get it.But "QoL" shit ruins games and the EXP Share completely removes any thought required into just engaging with and selectively training your team, you end up not giving a shit, it becomes so bad, that a lot of these "QoL" mechanics essentially remove massive parts of the game and add nothing of substance in return, they are not improving a game by making something easier, they entirely cut entire parts of the game to remove the player's need for engagement. I can understand getting rid of dogshit mechanics like IVs, but the funny part is that most fangames that employ retarded "QoL" shit, rarely if ever provide a means to ignore IVs as a mechanic.If you can't even bring yourself to play anything other than some slop hack that gives you 999 Rare Candies right from the get go, I don't think that's a problem with the games in question, it's more so a (you) problem, were you're so burnt out in the brain from shit like porn, social media and other crap that has utterly ruined you, you need to dopamine now, NOW, NOW!!! Like I said, just sad to watch. You sound like you'd rather be playing some dogshit glorified battle sim like fucking Radical Red(dit) rather than actually playing Pokemon.>Grinding on level 3 CaterpieNot a single fucking game does this, the only main series Pokemon games that have a grinding problem is gen 2 and to a lesser degree gen 1. Also it's a fucking JRPG, of course it has grinding, they've always had that.>I like enjoying long games>Plays Soulslop>Something that has a grinding problem that is quite often considerably worse than Pokemon depending on the game>Can't be bothered to waste 15 minutes fighting a few wild Pokemon, but spends fucking 3 hours resetting on an enemy over and over for rare dropsSoulsfags are truly just retarded dude, holy fucking shit.
>>59019171The difference is Elden Ring is a good game that was worthy of my limited free time. The 9th romhack released in 2025 which adds a whole whopping 1 extra feature that wasn't in Unbound, with everything else worse in every way, doesn't deserve more than 10 hours of my free time.
>>59019276You are just retarded. There is no world in which grinding EVs or XP on wild pokemon is a worthwhile investment of your time. You are not "engaging in the mechanics" when you literally just one shot them mindlessly over and over for hours. You are being disingenuous as fuck. How would you make a hack that eliminates the monotonous grind and instead replaces it with something fulfilling that lets you "enjoy the game" without being bored to tears?
>>59019347>>59019356>elden ring is good while pkmn is not>in a pokemon boardGood to know anon
>>59019368You might have noticed we were in the rom hack thread which influences every post to be about rom hacks. There is value in doing that in the mainline games, you can transfer pokemon to future games, you can engage in competitive battling, you can trade, you have more activities to do with your pokemon, etc. In romhacks the only gameplay is battling AI, if your game supplements battling AI with a long ridiculous monotonous grind of battling wild encounters then it's just a shit game and there is no reason for anyone to play it. Older roms get a pass, they didn't have these features, but any new rom hack that releases with XP All is just a shit rom hack.
>>59019411without XP All*
>>59019356Simple. I greatly Increase XP and difficulty of wild encounters while simultaneously reducing their odds of appearing. Even catching mons for a Nuzlocke will become challenging, thus restoring their integrity. Loading up your mons with rare candies is working around the game's mechanics, not with them.
>>59014630I haven't really played that many fangames to be a good judge but>introduction was super fast and, while I don't doubt the story will be a cringefest, it seems a bit more focused on gameplay>lots of QoL I like, from infinite held items to free move trainers>game tells you evolution info and moveset info so you don't gotta search thru some doc online>wild battles give no EXP and can be avoided any time, but you get rewards for completing each area's Pokenav entry>tons of new abilities and moves and rebalances for shitmons (I'm not really into the competitive scene so I dunno what actually changes, but some of these abilities make for fun theoretical teambuilding)>tribal system, where mons of similar tribes give each other bonuses, which incentivizes themed teams which I fucking loveI personally love it so far, it's almost everyhing I wish for in a game. I don't really care about plot too much and I don't really want some ultra competitive battle simulator: what is interesting about Pokemon TO ME is that it's an RPG with a potentially insane amount of depth in terms of party building, and I enjoy trying to find hidden synergies or putting together teams that "make sense" >>59019178>Just claim you hate RPGsNTA but I enjoy blobbers and RPGs that let me fuck around with building a wide array of characters strategically: grinding mindlessly so my MC can learn Omnislash v5 and steamroll the game is not what I personally enjoy
>>59019276I don't think reducing the grind means removing battle system engagement. Unbound basically eliminates all of the grind, gives you DexNav at the start of the game, gives you an IV/EV checker, and gives you very early access to breeding and all the corresponding minmax mechanics, and feels more rewarding for it because you spend your time hunting down and leveling pokemon you actually want to use instead of catching Route 1 shitters just to progress through the next gym. It's the gold standard of providing QoL features without sacrificing grind.In comparison I'm playing through Pokemon Tourmaline right now and the early grind is horrendous on higher difficulties if you pick the wrong starter. Granted this is also a consequence of the game having dogshit route variety but like, I'd really rather spend my time looking for cool mons instead of dodging the 50+ bug, flying, and normal types the game throws in your path while making it really fucking hard to build a competent team with them. Now every time I reach a new route with decent type variety I have to go back and level grind every new mon I catch.desu I understand the appeal of low-QoL and "doing it like the old days" but I've probably spent more time leveling shitmons in this piece of shit than actually progressing the story.
So I've been playing some Elite Redux while I wait for the new MH Stories game to come out, and I can't help but think you could sort of replicate the gene system.>add three more "abilities" for genes>each mon has a randomized selection of three applicable "genes" for its species>swap genes between mons>each gene has an associated type, line up three of the same type to get something like STAB>rework some of the more boring abilities like insomnia or early bird into genes>other genes are like increased chance to burn, taking less damage from X type, whateverObviously this is just idle theorycrafting, but I had fun typing this out so whatever.
>>59019276>"but the funny part is that most fangames that employ retarded "QoL" shit, rarely if ever provide a means to ignore IVs as a mechanic">starts shitting on Radical Red anywayslol?
>>59019549>TourmalineAnon you can Wonder Trade 6 mons a day in the top floor of the Pokemon Centre if you weren't aware.
>>58991257Refined platinum
Good morning sirs, I hate Elite Redux, Radical Red, Unbound and Kaizo.
Any gen 4 hacks that add repurchasable TMs?
>>59009868Btw the solrok is the actual problem here
>>59019597>6 pokemon a daynice lemme just change my console's clock until I get something usable.it is a neat mechanic I'm always a sucker for free gachas.
I want to turn some 288x sprites from infinite fusion into 64x sprites for ROM HACKS. Now I could just bite the bullet and trace them over but I'd like to know if there might be an easier method. Maybe some software that does a decent job at downscaling.Would DS hacking be better suited?
>>59019777Gen 4+ are mostly focused on difficulty and complete DeX. QoL isn't really a thing.
>>59019929Thing is infinite fusion use the gen 4/5 limit (80x80 pixels iirc) so you can't scale down the sprites without it melting
What are some good 3ds emulators for my phone?
Was a fun hack. Not having Pokemon Bingo or Battle CDs felt a little souless. I get why they did it but replacing all the pyrite town trainers with easy ev training, i didnt like it either. Huge Power Raichu being the all star of the team was a surprise but I liked it.
>>59019478Thank for your imput

>>59019478At the cost of sounding like a shill I am absolutely blown away by this game, so many excellent features and so much good shitI am almost afraid to keep playing it because I'll eventually finish it and I doubt I'll ever come across something that's nearly as good, jeez
Could someone give me a list of (good) essentials games? I already know a few but I would like a refresher + new ones.
